Solar Hot Water systems are extensively used in some of the more developed countries in the world. They have been subject to much research and are now extremely efficient units. With all of these improvements the cost has escalated to result in units which cannot be afforded in the lesser developed countries. It was because of the high cost that we in Central Philippine University decided to develop a low cost unit, which although not so efficient would be affordable and simple to construct. It should also be designed in a way that it could be used for educational purposes.

The education imparted to the student today is based on the lecture being done by the faculty and the laboratory work undertaken by the students with the teacher doing the supervision of the laboratory work. The objective of laboratory work is to bridge the gap between the theory taught in the classroom and the actual practice in the field. At present students are not inclined or motivated to learn from the laboratory work because of lack of space, equipment and competent teacher. The open laboratory concept requires each student to actually perform the laboratory work any time the laboratory is open. In doing this the student will have to learn since they individually have to undertake the laboratory exercise and will be checked by the teacher. The open laboratory may require additional personnel space and equipment but if it will be implemented it will result in students learning more from the laboratory work.

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH has been commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) to implement the project "Forest and Climate Protection Panay 2". In the framework of this project a feasibility study has been prepared on the potential of bio-energy to replace fossil fuel (especially coal and bunker oil) and reduce the carbon emissions. Of special interest is the potential of biomass (wood and agricultural residues) for the decentralized supply of communities and households with electricity, heat for drying rice, copra, abaca and lumber, and cooling. The study has been carried out by German consultant Dr. Andreas Ortwein and Philippine consultant Jeriel G. Militar from Central Philippine University, Iloilo, Affiliated Renewable Energy Center (AREC). The study has been implemented in a mission in March 2015.

This paper presents in brief selected results of the census of non-conventional energy systems (NES) of Panay and Guimaras. The census was conducted by the Central Philippine University- Affiliated Non-conventional Energy Center (CPU-ANEC) as part of the National Census of NES mandated by the Department of Energy (DOE) through its Non-Conventional Energy Division (NCED). One important finding shown by the results of the census is that biomass is the greatest contributor of non-conventional energy in Panay and Guimaras. Another important finding which is somewhat already expected, is that wind pumps proliferate in Iloilo. However, many of these are inoperational due to technical failure and a good number had been damaged by strong typhoons. Findings like these can serve as useful inputs in the formulation of area-based energy plans to effectively promote the widespread use of non-conventional energy. Furthermore, other government and private institutions, individual researchers, project implementors and entrepreneurs can also make good use of these findings as well as other additional information that can be gleaned from the results of the census. The complete results are available at the CPU-ANEC office to interested parties upon request.
